"Heavenly disks"
After reading the reports about the "mysterious disks", I left the house and looked at the sky. There I saw, or seemed to see, many similar disks streaking across the sky. I called my parents to see the same thing.
Then my father, a doctor, said that what we saw was nothing but red blood cells reflected on the back of the eye. He said that the red blood cells have a round shape, and one side is slightly hollow. This is the same description as the "mysterious disks".
Could this be the answer to a national riddle?

Flying Ships of 1880s.
To the Star: The flying saucer, or meteor disk, problem reminds me that back in the 1880s we had the flying ship myth. Persons in all parts of the country reported seeing the lights of supposed flying ships appearing in the sky at night. They never were visible during the day. Newspapers carried articles on the front page as true incidents.
I remember one article in The Star, wherein a flying ship landed in a pasture near Everest, Kas., and strangely garbed men, supposedly from the planet Mars, were seen to select and slaughter a fine beef animal, load their kill on board the ship and take off.

"Sky Disks" Are in His Eyes.
Manhattan, Kas. - To The Star: After reading the accounts of the "mystery disks," I went outside the house and looked at the sky. There I saw, or seemed to see, many of the same disks streaking across the sky. I called my parents out to see the same things.
Then my father, who is a doctor, said the things we saw were nothing but red blood cells mirrored against the back of the eye. He said red blood cells were circular in shape and one side was slightly hollow. This is the same description as that of the "mystery disks."
Could this be the answer to the national mystery?

Hypotheses
Floater
Against the bright, clean surface, such as against the sky, snow, wall or ceiling person can see a translucent spot, taking the form of "octopus", "spiders", "chromosome", "palm", etc. a Person can dwell on this coincidence: he may seem a dark spot or the silhouette in the room or flying past the point in the sky. Trying to follow that vision gaze, a person cannot "catch" the vision and to consider it in more detail.
